JOHN LINCOLN GIsH, or SOUTH BEND, INDIANA.

SANITARY WATER-CLOSET BOWL.

Application led January 26,

T0 all whom t may concern Be it known that I, JOHN LINCOLN GIsH, a citizen of the United States, residing at South Bend, in the county of St. Joseph and vState of Indiana, have invented a new and useful Sanitary Water-Closet Bowl, of which the following isa specification. l

The Object of my present invention is to construct a sanitary water closet bowl, in such a manner; Iirstly, that the said bowl will have a sanitary usefulness; secondly, that the said bowl will be noiseless in its operative procedure; and thirdly, that the said bowl will be provided with means, whereby a removable union is formed, between the said bowl and the lead bend or trap beneath the floor line, and still the said union be properly closed and sealed, in accordance to all sanitary demands, upon such connecting parts.

Figure, l., is the sanitary water closet bowl, with a portion of the bowl A., and a portion of its standard B., removed, in order to fully expose its various parts. Fig. 2., is a vertical section thereof, taken through the intake tube I., down through the trap E.

Similar letters, refer to similar parts, throughout the figures.

A., is the bowl.

B., is the standard, supporting the bowl A., over its base G.

C., is the base, receivingthe standard B.

H., is a lead bend or trap beneath the floor line.

wf., nm., indicates the water level, which stands in the trap H.

i., is a removable connecting pipe.

e., is a groove formed on the pipe i., i.

F., is a collar, securely fastened, to the closed channel-way E., E., E.

n., n., indicates the water level, which stands in a trap, formed in the closed channel-way E., E., E.

E., E., E., is the closed channel-way, leading from the opening D. t

Z9., is a section of a seat, lfor the said bowl A. a., is a section of a cover for the said seat Zn., said a., and Z2., are connected to the bowl A., in the usual manner.

s., s., is a flushing rim, to the bowl A.

D., is an opening in the side of the bowl A.,-the said opening D., forms the entrance to the closed channel-way E., E., E.

I., is the intake tube, for the flushing stream leading to the bowl A.

I., is the inlet opening to the intake tube I.

1914. serial No. 814,415.

h.,` L., are small jet openings, within the iushmg rim s., s., leading from the intake `tube I.

o., 0'., of., are small jet openings, leading from the intake tubeI., andlocated ata point, beneath the water level m.

v m., indicates the water level, which ystands in the bottom of the bowl A.,\and in the bottom, of that portion, of the channel-way E., E., E., which isbetween the Opening D., and a point corresponding, Vto the point, marked E.

y Thev special features of this device are dei scribed as follows :irst the flushing stream is allowed to enter the bowl A, through the openings 0, 0', 0; second, the force of the flushing stream is applied 'at -the periphery or outer edge of the'contents fects, `by means of centrifugal force and action, to discharge the contents of bowl A., as soon as the intake of water, raises the water level, above the water level m.

The fourth feature -of importance is the opening D., inthe side of the bowl A., and forming the entrance into the channel-way E., E., E.,-the said opening D., is large and roomy, having its lowestline on a level with the bottom of the bowl A., and its top line, above the flushing level, thus affording an easy entrance, for the contents of the bowl A.

The lifth feature, is the closed channelway E., FK., E., vwhich leads from the opening D., and follows an upward spiral course, around the outside of the bowl A., to a point, corresponding to the point marked E., where the-said channel-way then descends to near the bottom of the partB., v

where again the said channel-way bends upon itself and forms a trap, for holding water, as indicated by n., n.,-from this trap, onward, the said channel-way, takes a downward course and ends at a point marked E., above the bottom of the bowl A., determines the height of the water level m.; and also it is to be noticed, that the passage-way, through this same por tion of the said channel-way, is of the same size, as the opening D., thereby placing the top line of this portion of the said channelway, above the flushing level, and thereby affording an easy passage-way, for the contents of the bowl A.

W ith the parts thus mentioned and described, the device operates as follows,- the bowl A., with its standard B., and base C., having been joined to the trap H., by means of the connecting pipe 7l., i., and the intake pipe I., having been joined, at the inlet l., with any suitable means supplying a flushing streain,-the flushing stream is allowed to enter the intake pipe immediately a small quantity of the flushing stream enters the flushing-rim s., s., by way of the jet nozzles 71.., t., and the sides of the bowl A., are moistened to prevent soil clinging thereto, as the contents of the bowl A., is moved onward. Simultaneously with the moistening of the sides of the bowl A., the flushing stream enters the bowl A., through the openings 0., 0'., and applying the force of the flushing stream, at the periphery or outer edge of the contents'of the bowl A., and beneath the surface of the water level m. Also, the force of the flushing stream is directed against the inner curved wall of the bowl A., in such a manner, as to produce a whirling motion of the water within the bowl A., and thereby produce effects, by means of centrifugal force and action, whereby the contents of the bowl A., is swept into and through the opening D., where the centrifugal action is further increased by the flushing stream, which enters through the opening o. The contents of the bowl A., having been swept and pulled into and through the opening D., by means of centrifugal force and action, the same whirling motion is still carried onward, until the contents of the bowl A., has passed the point, marked E. rlhe point E., having been passed, the contents of the bowl A., is carried forward, by the action of gravity, and the siphonic action at n., 17X., and 7W., nm., after which the discharge is conducted to a drain pipe to a place of disposal. After the flushing has been completed,-water refills the traps at wf., am., and n., a., and replaces the water in the bowl A., to the water level m., and leaves the device ready to repeat its work.

In view of the fact that the openings 0, 0, 0., are located beneath the water level m,- the force of the flushing stream and its action upon the contents of the bowl A, is a noiseless procedure, and inasmuch as the siphonic action at n, n, and a, a,takes place within the closed channel-way E, E, E, and at some distance removed, from the opening D, no noise is heard from'that source of action, thereby making the device above described, a noiseless sanitary water closet bowl.

Therefore, what do claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent lsv- l. )In a water closet bowl operated by fluid passing through the bowl, the combination of a bowl provided with a flushing rim, inlet and outlet openings, the inlet opening discharging tangentially, a stand* ard adapted to support said bowl, a base adapted to receive said standard, a closed channel-way in the said standard adapted to connect the outlet opening from the said bowl to a connecting pipe, said channelway provided with an inlet opening having its top line above the inlet level and adapted to cooperate with the centrifugal effects produced by the inlet to flush said bowl, said channel-way further provided with a water seal, n.,- n., adapted to prevent return of gases from the drain pipe.

2. In a water closet bowl operated by fluid passing through the bowl,-a bowl having an outlet provided Vwith means for determining the water level and an intake pipe provided with discharge openings, beneath the water level m., adapted to apply the force of the flushing stream along the periphery or outer lines of the contents of the said bowl, thereby producing effects by centrifugal action, to discharge the contents of said bowl at a' predetermined time.

3. In a water closet bowl operated by fluid passing through the bowl,-a bowl having a flushing pipe provided with Ydischarge openings beneath the water level m., adapted to apply the force of the flushing stream along the periphery of the contents of the said bowl, an outlet opening in the side of said bowl provided with means for establishing a water level, said openingV having its lowest line on a level with the bottom of said bowl and its' top line above the flushing level, thereby cooperating with the flushing stream, to allow the contents of the said bowl to be swept, into and through the said opening, by means of effects produced by centrifugal action, to discharge the contents of said bowl, at a predetermined time.
